Qtracker URL Documentation

Some of Qtrackers functions can be utilized using a URL which is installed on each users computer when they install Qtracker. This URL permits you to access the Qtracker client from a web-browser to do such things as connect the user to a game.

URL Format
qtracker://ip:port?game=gameid&action=actiontype

The first argument specified after ip:port must always be prefaced with the ? character. Any additional arguments must them be prefaced with the & character.

The order which arguments appear in the URL is not important, with the exception of ip:port; these arguments must always be included immediately after the qtracker:// URL.

No arguments are case sensitive.

Sample URL
qtracker://208.46.122.180:27015?game=halflife&action=connect
